Anticipated Books extended

There was one book that I forgot to mention and didn’t think about it until I went through my Amazon browsing history. The Memory Theatre by Karin Tidbeck. A fantasy story about a place called the Gardens, a paradise where time stands still. This fantasy piece is set to release on 16 February.

So I made some changes in plan for my birthday. I decided to get a room at Aksarben Suites. I’ll spend the day in Aksarben and pretend that I traveled.

Song mood: In Too Deep by Genesis. It’s been an Inspector Morse weekend. I’m halfway through the original series. I think I came upon an understanding.

Mainly because I just need to write as many and publish as many books as possible. Following trends gets thrown out the window when you want to publish four to six books a year. I already knew that books and dvds, perhaps most streaming get released on Tuesdays. At one time I knew why. It was the whole business of everything getting shifted because of the pandemic that I realized that the push for horror was June through August.

That was supposed to be my Birthday book this year. What I found out about Stephen Graham Jones is that a novel of his should have already been released, but i
